Abstract

Brucellosis is a zoonotic infectious disease which any organ can be involved. Soft tissue lesions are rare manifestations of brucellosis. Brucella breast abscess in animal is not uncommon; involvement of the breast in human brucella is extremely rare. Breast abscess involvement was reported to 0.7% of the patient with brucellosis. We report the microbiological findings of breast abscess due to brucella. A 38-year-old woman living in the rural area of Kerman, Iran, presented with an abscess in the right breast. The sampling of the abscess aspiration and preparation of smears showed inflammatory fluid. Culture and PCR performed from the sample identified the presence of Brucella melitensis. The lesion had diminished in size after 8 weeks of treatment with combined doxycycline and rifampin. The possibility of breast abscess being caused by Brucella should be considered in countries, especially in endemic regions. Besides, isolated Brucella spp from microbiological cultures is important for a definitive diagnosis.
由梅利特布鲁氏菌引起的异常脓肿
布鲁氏菌病是一种人畜共患传染病,任何器官都可能感染。软组织病变是布鲁氏菌病的罕见表现。布鲁氏菌乳房脓肿在动物身上并不罕见;人类布鲁氏菌的乳腺受累极为罕见。据报道,0.7%的布鲁氏菌病患者有乳腺脓肿受累。我们报告了布鲁氏菌引起的乳腺脓肿的微生物学检查结果。一名居住在伊朗克尔曼农村地区的38岁妇女出现右乳房脓肿。脓肿抽吸取样和涂片制备显示有炎性液体。从样品中进行的培养和PCR鉴定出存在布鲁氏菌。经多西环素和利福平联合治疗8周后,病变面积缩小。布鲁氏菌引起乳腺脓肿的可能性应在各国考虑,尤其是在流行地区。此外,从微生物培养物中分离出布鲁氏菌对最终诊断很重要。
